Nerd News: Highest-Paid UC Execs Demand More Benefits, Threaten to Sue

Is there a single university system more messed up than the University of California network?  Check out this latest bit of scandal and skulduggery.  To its credit, though, the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper names names -- the edu-crats demanding more benefits (from the all-but-bankrupt UC system!) are a collection of deans, portfolio managers, vice presidents, managing directors, and so on.  Can you people possibly be more tone-deaf?  Meanwhile, lest you forget, adjuncts and lecturers and people doing the actual teaching of students are going hungry and getting laid off and generally being screwed by the admin.  The students, by the way, are feeling the pinch too -- tuition's gone up big-time.
